How can I make this script check the workspace for any part named 'window' every 300 seconds?
How can I make this script check the workspace for any part named 'window' every 300 seconds and change the transparency to 0 and the cancollide to false?
I've tried this already.
while true do wait(300) a = game.Workspace:getChildren(game.Workspace) if a.Name == "Window" then a.Transparency = 0 a.Cancollide = false end

The GetChildren() function returns all the children of the instance it is called on packaged in a table. If you want to search for any part named "Window", then you would iterate or go over the table returned by the GetChildren function. Iterating is usually done with a generic for loop which is implemented below. On every iteration the script checks if the current child is a window and if so, changes the Transparency and CanCollide properties.
while true do
wait(300)
children = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
for _ , a in pairs (children) do
if a.Name == "Window" then
a.Transparency = 0
a.CanCollide = false
end
end
end

One important thing to note is that :GetChildren() returns only the immediate children. You can use :GetDescendants() which basically returns the children of the children just in case a window is in a model that is a child to workspace. Ultimate_Piccolo 201 — 7y
